New Lenses

I got these goggles from my uncle, who was a B-17 crew member during WWII.
The glass was rough and one lens cracked. I found a pair of brand new lenses
on Ebay, in the original US Army Air Force wrapper, manufactured by
Bausch & Lomb Optical Co.

FujiFilm X-Pro1
1s f/9.0 at 35.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

A very interesting image and a fabulous thing to fine. Who would have thought those lenses would still be available anywhere!
